Getting rid of all the species in D&D probably wouldn't be terribly well received.if they are so irrelevant why keep them in at all?

It's better to throw crumbs at lovers than give jewels to haters?if they are so irrelevant why keep them in at all?
true but we end up with lots of forgotten things in dnd so what would one more do?Getting rid of all the species in D&D probably wouldn't be terribly well received.
The irony here is just too funny.And these things just take up space that could be devoted to things that are actually new, and actually creative, and actually engaged with the world in which we live.
That actually sounds like a great free DM's Guild file: 20 magic items based on halfling traits and deities.For all the "because LOTR" D&D uses to keep Halfings a major race in the game, I'm surprised there is no "Ring of Halflings" magic item that buffs halflings and curses all other races.

Ring that attracts an ancient halfling stalker.Don't you mean a ring that turns your character into an invisible crackhead?
I have had carnivorous horses... so there is that.I've had mine ride raptors crossed with Darksun cannibalism.
Let’s assume that the ddb stats are representative of the whole hobby. 5% of active characters are Halflings. That is an enormous amount of people. They have never lost real popularity.Yes, it's 100% popularity based. An idea that has been in the game for FIFTY YEARS has never gained any real popularity.
And those two races are in the PHB.Two races that have been in the game for less than 20 are both more popular and considerably more popular.
Even if it were ever going to happen, and even if I agreed that it should, no. The MM is not where players go for PC options.So, yeah, drop the stuff that few people play in favor of stuff that actually gains traction. Don't drop it from the game entirely. Sure. Put them in the Monster Manual for those that want them.
You seem to misunderstand why the core four are. Human is the only race in its league of popularity. Everything else pales in comparison.Cool beans. But as one of the four most popular PC races? Seriously?
